Fix “Some settings are managed by your organization” in Windows 10

If your Windows 10 computer is part of your office network, it is not surprising to see a message like “Some settings are managed by your organization”. Windows 10 allows your organization to centrally control critical settings. Individual computer users can not change or over-ride these settings. But sometimes you get to see this message even if your machine is stand-alone and you are the owner of the computer. Faults in software can lock down a few settings and erroneously show the “some settings are managed by your organization” message. Today we will learn how to fix this error in your computer.

Please note that this tutorial is for those Windows users who own the computer and have full technical (and moral !!!) rights on it. This tutorial is only to rectify the problems caused by bugs in the software.

If that’s the case, you should contact your organization’s Computer Department and ask for their assistance in changing the settings.
